This is essentially a love letter to my grandma. Her name is Julie Bauer. When I was traveling across the country this summer, she gifted me with a box full of records she no longer wanted. They went to a perfect home because I cracked that box open before I even unpacked my suitcase. Once I started to play them, I realized something peculiar. My grandma initialed all of her records with a big 'J B' in the middle of the records, so her younger siblings and college roommates wouldn't steal them, and if they did she would know...
This story inspired me to create this Zine. I have never made a Zine before but I had such a good time making this, that I know this won't be the last one I make. My Zine isn't for sale because I wouldn't want to exploit my grandma like that but I would be willing to trade!
